Cameron,
I bought a professional one and happy to have it onboard! I know one day I will lend it to one of you guys so you can tow me in!!!
I think I posted some picture here of it, I'll see if I can find the thread.
What I like about mine is that it is ready to go and heavy duty! Perfect fit for my boat and all I have to do is throw it out on deck and have the guys clip it in and it is ready to go in 30 seconds.
Last year I towed a guy in who had twin power but had lost a motor outside. He lost the other motor inside the jetties and was talking with the Coast Guard as I went past him. I quickly doubled back and had him strapped on in about 1 minute. He was honestly very close to hitting the S Jetty "fingers" that stick out.
Very cheap insurance in my opinion.
Let me see if I can find the thread, if not, I will post some new pictures of it.
